PHNX Awards announces winners; FCB Lisboa & Ogilvy Honduras win 2 Grand Prix each

The 2023 PHNX Awards has declared the winners, focusing on the theme of "Peace" for this year. FCB Lisboa, a Portuguese agency, achieved the prestigious GRAND PRIX FOR PEACE with their project called "Portuguese (Re)constitution." In commemoration of the Carnation Revolution's anniversary, artists utilized the same blue pencils that were favored by censors to rework the previous fascist constitution. They transformed it into a collection of poems and illustrations that exalted the concept of freedom. This remarkable manifesto also received the Print Grand Prix award.

Ogilvy Honduras won both the Strategy & Technique and the Good Causes Grand Prix with “Morning After Island”. To protest a ban on emergency contraception pills, an island was created in international waters where Honduran women could take the medication legally – and protest against the ban.

AdForum launched the PHNX Awards in the heart of lockdown in 2020 to celebrate the resilience of creativity. It has lived on as one of the most unusual shows in the awards landscape. Its jury is made up not only of creatives, but planners, executives, clients, PRs, marketers, consultants…everyone who makes up our vibrant industry.

This year, more than 800 jurors voted on the work online. The Grand Prix winners were chosen after a live panel debate.
